Orlando Magic’s Jonathan Isaac blasts Joe Biden for commemorating Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday… before giving the President the benefit of the doubt as holiday always falls on March 31

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac took to social media to criticize the White House for celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday, before walking back his comments when he realized it always falls on the 31st. March.

Isaac, 26, took to Twitter on Saturday to condemn President Joe Biden’s proclamation of International Transgender Day of Visibility on the same day as one of Christianity’s most important holidays.

‘They want you to hate! This helps no one and only promotes division,” Isaac tweeted. ‘They know exactly what they are doing…

‘We should be angry but we shouldn’t lose the spirit of what tomorrow means! Don’t lose focus. Because he has risen there is hope for everyone.’

Almost an hour later, Isaac realized that the holiday was celebrated on the exact same day each year, prompting him to publish a retraction.

Jonathan Isaac retracts criticism of Joe Biden for recognizing Transgender Day of Visibility

Initially, Isaac was upset that the president recognized the holiday, which he shares on Easter Sunday.

But he realized that Trans Day of Visibility is every March 31 and publicly retracted the criticism.

‘In the name of justice, Biden acknowledged the day last year when he did not fall on Esther (Easter)!’ Isaac wrote.

‘That is important and, to me, frees the administration from the accusation of intentionality! Instead of deleting the tweet like it never happened, this is my good faith retraction lol.

‘The message is the same. Stay focused on what Easter Sunday is all about. Christ defeating sin and death for all people who believe.’

Transgender Day of Visibility has been celebrated on March 31 for several years to help promote the elimination of violence and discrimination based on gender identity and also to serve as a platform for trans people to defend their rights.
